We visited the Sugaring off festival (Maple Syrup festival) today at the St-Pierre-Jolys Museum. It was a great pleasure to taste those sugar sweets made in snow. Great food and nice people here! All the volunteers were so nice and welcoming.

A great tour. The guides were knowledgeable and interesting. The maple syrup on a stick was delicious and sweet.

Great small town museum. Lots of interesting artifacts give you an insight into early French-Canadian life. The Sugar Shack has wonderful maples syrup "on ice". For a small museum, they sure do put on a lot of events - music, culture, food. They have it all.

The museum was a convent built in 1899 and occupied by the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary. They were invited by Father Jolys to educate his parishioners in 1867. The convent that we see today is not the original building. A prairie fire had destroyed the church, rectory and convent in 1899. The sisters by the early 1900 had already established their educational institution as the best school in Canada. When the public schools were in place, some of the sisters continued their mission to teach. Today, the congregation's focus is Social Justice, Education and Solidarity Projects. Many lay people are inspired with their work and become involved.
